Wow, I Bet That One Photo Will Get the Home Sold....

Maybe it's a result of spending far too much time online, but tonight's read of the Columbus (Ohio) Board of Realtors' "In Contract" monthly magazine for April prompted quite a laugh. Under the MLS News section, CBR members are warned that a photo (ONE...can you imagine!) is now a requirement for all listings....if an agent posts a listing without a photo, there's a $50 fine, and the MLS will then take a photo for the listing in question for between $10-15. And an agent has only 15 days after the listing entry to add that ONE photo....such a burden, huh?

And fortunately there's an overall out....a seller can request that no photo appear in the MLS....gee, that's a relief...

But maybe a chuckle is inappropriate, given that there are still agents out there in real estate land who can't or simply don't provide photos for their listings......
